ORH has only seen 2 snowstorms over 4 inches in the past 15 years in April. April 3, 2016 and then April 4, 2016. Two back to back events. Though Mar 31-Apr 1, 2017 and the same dates in 2011 produced a snowstorm over 4 inches, but the actual snow on April 1st past midnight was under 4 inches.

The period from 1982-1997 though saw 5 April events of 4"+.

Three of my 4 came in 2007, the 2 biggies noted above plus the Patriots' Day storm (5.2") - the only event bringing 5" snow AND 5" rain.  The 2011 April Fools storm was 15.1". 

April top 10:  (And I discovered another >4" event, late month in 2002)
18.5"  4-5/07
15.1"  1-2/11 (only 0.1" on the 2nd)
11.2"  12-13/07
5.2"   15-17/07
4.2"   28-29/02
4.0"   5/04
3.6"   17/10  (After getting only 0.6" in March.)
3.5"   9/15
3.5"   1/17
3.3"  5-6/03

Nothing else bigger than 2.5".  However, the #5-10 storms all occurred in different years, making it 8 of 19 with something 3"+.

One tiny caterpillar by the billions, 5 exceptional Noreasters since Oct has equalled catastrophic woodland damage. Now that the snow is gone the forests around here can be seen clearly and its not pretty. Thousands of broken trees, branches,  also with small shrubs split in two. Have to hope for a wet spring and fall, fire forest danger is going to be huge for a while.

I should have never cancelled my stormvista subscription lol

Euro shows next week's storm cold and suppressed . I like the setup.

 

Congrats to Ocean City, MD on that Euro run for next Thursday.  If that verified, it would have to be historic for them in April.
